This talk looks at a photographic ecology of the working classes in Bombay/Mumbai/Bambai between the 1970s and 1990s by fine art photographers. It asks in what ways this photographic construction of the laboring population looks at questions of alienation, class, caste, and capitalism. It situates these images at a time when the city was witness to the steady decline of the Communist stronghold among the working classes, moving to embrace the Shiv Sena Party with its anti-migrant rhetoric, liberalization and deindustrialization after the Great Textile Mill Strike of 1982. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
